brookelaney did you have a hiaital(sp) hernia fixed? That heavy feeling is normal. It will go away in about 4 days. Every day you will feel better. Glad everyone is doing good.

I tried Jello today and found it a litlle difficult. I could not eat the entire small container - only about 1/2 until I felt full.

I dont know if you will be 100% in a week but you will be feeling a hell of a lot better.

It really took me about 4 weeks to feel to the point where the incisions we not tender and I felt like working out, going for walks etc.

Ok Ok I should have known better but I felt so good yesterday. :faint: Banded on the 3rd and I felt great by Monday . No pains at all. Very little tenderness. I even slept on my stomach again. So why not do some laundry, groceries and attend my daughter's music concert where I had to stand for over 1 hr. Bad Bad girl!!!!!:omg: :omg: I am feeling it today!!!! Suddenly alot more sore and tender. Hope fully this will get better as I am most certainly babying myself today:notagree :notagree .

Do not make the same mistakes as I and take care of yourselves:) ;):P

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
